Meet Pacific Rim’s US Jaeger, Gipsy Danger

April 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pacific-rim-new-poster6Last week we met Russia, Japan, Australia and China’s Jaegers (giant robots) from Guillermo Del Toro’s upcoming movie, Pacific Time, but there was no way the US was going to miss out on the action, so take a look above for the American Jaeger, Gipsy Danger.

It’s perhaps no surprise that while the others look like giant robot war machines, this one immediately looks a tad more heroic (although we’re sure it’s good at fighting too). With huge monsters emerging from under the Pacific, nations around the edge of the sea are forced to create the enormous, human-piloted robots in order to battle them and try to protect the world.

Pacific Rim comes to cinemas on July 12th, 2013 and stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Diego Klattenhoff, Burn Gorman and Robert Kazinsky.

After Russia, Japan and China’s Jaegers (giant robots), comes a poster for Australia’s addition to the fight back against monsters appearing from a portal under the ocean, Striker Eureka. You’ll be pleased to hear this isn’t real, but one of the massive bots from Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim.

Pacific Rim’s Crimson Typhoon Jaeger Gets A Poster

March 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pacific-rim-new-poster4
Pacific Rim has been introducing as to the film’s Jaegers (giant robots) this week, with Russia’s Cherno Alpha and Japan’s Coyote Tango. Now it’s China’s turn with Crimson Typhoon.

Guillermo Del Toro directs this sci-fi action-thriller, which is set 15 years after enormous kaiju monsters began attacking Earth from some sort of portal deep in the Pacific. This leads each major country to build their own gigantic robot known as a jaeger, to combat these nefarious beasts.

It certainly suggests the film will be about countries coming together and putting their differences aside to take on a common threat.

Pacific Rim comes to theaters July 12th, 2013 and stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Diego Klattenhoff, Burn Gorman and Robert Kazinsky.

New Pacific Rim Concept Art Images Show Us A Huge Skull & A Jaeger

February 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

pacific-rim-concept-art1
Warner & Legendary are certainly hoping Pacific Rim will be the big ticket this summer and have started the hype early so that audiences will be all ready for the July release. Now Total Film has debuted two new concept art images from the movie.

The one above shows us a Russian Jaeger (the name for the film’s giant robots), while the one below has a strange skull Temple, smack dab in the middle of an urban environment. Presumably it’s the remains of one of the huge creatures that are spewing out of a portal deep under the ocean.

It’s these creatures that cause humankind to respond with the huge robots, which are controlled by humans in the head. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, and Rinko Kikuchi star, with Guillermo Del Toro directing.

Guillermo Del Toro Going To The Secret Garden

February 5, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

guillermo-del-toroGuillermo Del Toro always likes to keep busy, and he’s just added another project to his roster, as he’s set to produce a new adaptation of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic children’s novel, The Secret Garden. Many noted similarities between Pan’s Labyrinth and The Secret Garden, so it’s not completely new territory for Del Toro.

The film has also hired a screenwriter, with Deadline reporting that Lucy Alibar will come up with the script. Alibar only has one screen credit to her name, but as she’s scored an Oscar nomination for co-writing Beasts Of The Southern Wild, it’s little surprise she’s getting hired for good jobs or that she’d be seen as a good fit for Secret Garden.

Burnett’s 1910 novel is about the rude, spoiled Mary Lennox, who’s less than pleased to be sent to live in her uncle’s cold house in Yorkshire, after her family dies of cholera in India. She finds the key to a garden that’s been left unattended since her uncle’s wife died, and entering it begins to change both her life and those around her.

This new version is apparently going to give things a slightly different spin, setting it in the American South around the turn of the 20th century, which suggests a more gothic take than previous versions (which would certainly fit with Del Toro’s penchants).

It’s still early days for the new movie, with no director attached as yet.

Charlie Hunnam May Reunite With Guillermo Del Toro For Crimson Peak

January 19, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Charlie-HunnamGuillermo Del Toro must be impressed with Charlie Hunnam’s work on the upcoming Pacific Rim, as he’s already hoping to reunite with the British Son Of Anarchy actor for his next movie, Crimson Peak, according to Variety.

A few days ago it was revealed that Emma Stone is in early talks to star, although neither acting has signed on the dotted line. De Toro is trying to get the main cast set early, as he doesn’t plan to shoot the movie until early 2014.

No story details have been released for the movie, although Del Toro has previously described it as “A very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story. It will allow me to play with the conventions of the genre I know and love, and at the same time subvert the old rules.” He has also compared it to Robert Wise’s The Haunting.

Guillermo del Toro is rewriting the screenplay with Lucinda Coxon, working from an original draft by Matthew Robbins.

Emma Stone In Talks For Guillermo Del Toro’s Crimson Peak

January 16, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

emma-stoneIt seems Guillermo Del Toro is keen to ensure there isn’t another five year gap between directing projects as there has been between Hellboy II and Pacific Rim, as while the latter of those movie doesn’t reach cinemas until July, he’s already casting for his recently announced movie, Crimson Peak.

Variety reports that Emma Stone is in negotiations to star and that the script, which was originally penned by del Toro and Matthew Robins, is undergoing a rewrite by the director and British writer Lucinda Coxon. When it was first announced, Del Toro described the movie as “A very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story. It will allow me to play with the conventions of the genre I know and love, and at the same time subvert the old rules.” He has also compared it to Robert Wise’s The Haunting.

Del Toro is getting Stone lined up early, as currently the film isn’t due to shoot February 2014.

Pacific Rim CES Trailer – Guillermo Del Toro shows off more monster madness

January 8, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


It’s always a big job selling massive budget movies based on new ideas, partly because studios are so paranoid about have spent hundreds of millions on something nobody knows anything about. As a result, the publicity blitz for Pacific Rim has started early, with a second trailer released just a few weeks after the first.

It all looks rather cool in this CES promo, with Idris Elba introducing us to the 300ft tall monsters that are spewing out of a portal deep beneath the Pacific and attacking the coast, and so humanity fights back with gargantuan robots piloted by people.

The film is due out July 12th, 2013.
